Building and Running Project Looking Glass with NetBeans
This document illustrates how easy it is to get a development environment
up and running for the java.net Project Looking Glass with NetBeans. As
you will read in this document, using NetBeans as the development tool for
building and running Project Looking Glass makes Project Looking Glass
development very simple.

New NetBeans Module: smallx
This module allows a developer to run smallx XML pipelines from within the
NetBeans IDE just like XSLT transformations. A pipeline is a sequence of
steps (transformers, code, etc.) that process XML. These steps are specified
in an XML document called a pipeline document which the module helps
NetBeans recognized and treat as a specialized XML vocabulary. These
pipeline can be run standalone or as part of a web application or web service.

Online Survey: Help Shape the Future of the NetBeans Profiler Project
